Better Care Fund – Adaptions for the Disabled & Telecare |
The Disabled Facilities programme helps disabled people to live as comfortably and independently as possible in their own homes through the provision of adaptations. Disabled Facilities Grant funding of £2.313 million has been allocated to the council by DLUHC for 2023/24, in addition to the carry-forward of grant funding from 2022/23 of £0.458m. This funding is part of the Better Care Fund and is provisionally split between Housing (£2.217m) and Adult Social Care (£0.245m). A variation is requested to reflect the level of available funding and further discussion will be needed on allocation of the residual funding, the outcome of which will be reflected in future TBM updates. |

A270 Wild Park Rainscape |
The purpose of the project is to improve water quality and is designed to manage road surface water in a more natural and sustainable way. The project introduces a Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) to prevent polluted highway runoff infiltrating directly into the underlying ground water. Key benefits include: 1. Improved water quality 2. Reduced number of observed flooding incidents 3. Societal and community 4. Biodiversity. Key risks: 1. Concept design (RIBA 3) project cost £2.3m - additional funding may not be approved by National Highways 2. Unknown underground services being discovered in construction phase 3. Maintenance – no current BHCC funding or resource to maintain the new rainscape. This project is being funded by National Highways and is part of The Aquifer Partnership (TAP) programme of projects which promotes the sustainable protection and improvement of Brighton’s Aquifer. |
